The speculation has finally been confirmed! Russell Brand has officially filed for divorce from wife Katy Perry.
Documents have been filed in Los Angeles. Brand cited irreconcilable differences for the demise of their marriage. The two entertainers were married on October 23, 2010 in India.
In a statement made by Brand he said, “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”
Rumors were rampant when it was reported that Katy and Russell spent the holiday’s apart. They were both photographed out and about without their wedding rings.
On Dec. 1st Katy took to her Twitter page to deny the divorce rumor craze saying, “First I’m pregnant & then I’m divorced. What am I All My Children?”
Earlier in the month Brand appeared on ‘Ellen’ and slammed divorce rumors saying, “I’m really happily married … I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”
It is unclear at this time if Katy was aware that Brand intended to file for a divorce.
